What am I doing in life that somebody has decided to follow me? I mean, I'm 60 years old and it hasn't happened yet. It really doesn't matter what I tell the police, they're not going to get there in time to prevent whatever the person who's following me (assuming that he is following me)...

Pull a Crazy Ivan

Maybe threatening behavior but yeah, there's plenty of reasonable doubt that he has a gun. Where I'm at making a false report to the police is a crime.

I'm aware that this discussion is 6 years old. The article popped up on the Articles page so I'm responding When we lived in our house there was something wrong with the garage door. It didn't fit the frame correctly and it wouldn't lock. Not the big garage door the one from the kitchen to...

If you feel the need to call the police at all, why not tell them the truth?

Make three random right turns. The person is still behind you after that drive straight to the nearest police station

When I was in the Army they regulated how much beer you could have in your Barrack room at one time. The rule was, one six pack of beer per person in the room. My roommate thought it was wonderful because he was a drinker and I wasn't. So he could go buy 12 pack and leave a 12 pack in the...

And how many of them have signed off on it? I seem to remember late 90s or early 2000s the commander of the Alaska Command forbade everyone under his command which was all military in Alaska with the exception of the Alaskan National Guard from carrying a concealed handgun off post regardless...

Never going to happen. It's not so much that I think it's a bad idea, I don't think it's going to work because based on my experience in the Army the military holds a first line supervisors accountable for things that they have absolutely no control over. At my first Duty Station somebody...

Almost every criminal encounter that I've ever had has occurred in a transitional space. Almost every encounter that I've had with a beggar has either occurred in a Walmart parking lot or a gas station parking lot. This example is a little different, because I don't know if it was location...

Proper Room Clearing Techniques

I'm trying to think of the simplest way to say this and this is the best I can do. I'm retired. I am no longer Mission Essential Personnel and I am not required to show up for work (at all) regardless of the circumstances. To give a specific example on the day of the No Kings Rally in...

Is it just me or is a grip on that handgun almost in his armpit?

Since the founding of the United States there have been 60 presidential elections. Trump is the result of choosing the lesser of two evils 60 times

I don't necessarily park at the edge of the lot. Because, as you mentioned, that brings its own problems but I do try to park in an empty part of the lot. The only place I really park at the end of the lot is when I go to the VA clinic in Colorado Springs. They keep all the government bands...

It's not the business owner. It's the business owner's accountant who tells them they'll get a better insurance rate if they put up a gun Buster sign

Getting carjacked or mugged or panhandled at a gas station is a daily occurrence in America. I would bet that it happens hundreds of times a day in CONUS. Gas Stations/Convenience Stores are what all the SMEs call "Watering Holes". If you ever watch National Geographic TV they always show the...

I don't necessarily recon the lot but there are some things that I do. Never back in because a someone can hit your front end and disable the car. Guess how I know. Park with the front end behind a barrier, see above. Park away from the building. Preferably in an empty part of the lot. So...
